What is the best way to stay fit during COVID-19?
Being mandated to stay inside for extended periods mean that opportunities to keep fit during the COVID-19 epidemic are limited. As we suffer from greatly reduced access to activity and move to a largely sedentary lifestyle, how can we make sure we stay fit?
Isolated outside exercise
As the weather gets warmer, in more isolated areas you can take advantage of it by doing small amounts of activity outdoors.
Mental exercise
This position holds that mental exercise is the best way to stay fit during COVID-19. Rather than numbing the mind with endless streaming, it recommends keeping the brain nimble through practices such as mindfulness and regular meditation.
Indoor fitness
This position holds that indoor fitness is the best way to stay fit during COVID-19. With gyms closed, it argues the home can become your gym—through yoga, bodyweight strength training, 'housewalking,' online fitness classes, and using household items as makeshift equipment.
